inland shipping

Inland shipping refers to the transportation of goods and passengers via ships on inland waterways such as rivers, lakes, and canals. It provides an efficient, cost-effective alternative to road and rail, especially for bulky or heavy cargo. This mode of transport benefits from less traffic congestion and lower environmental impact. Inland shipping plays a vital role in supply chains by facilitating the movement of products within countries and regions, connecting manufacturing hubs to ports or distribution centers. It is an established part of intermodal transportation, often used alongside trucks and trains for seamless logistics.
